LONELY TEARS ON PAPER

Nights have clawed upon my days that dawns have become dusks to my eyes
Friends have failed my heart that loneliness dines with me uninvited
Empty hopes are served as food to me by those I sacrificed for
Trust is a word without weight as in shreds, my heart was pieced
Arms have been outstretched, harm has been gifted
Help has been rendered, hurts have been showered
Prayers were raised for them, curses were rained on me
All of mine I gave to them, None of theirs was given to me
Others have I put first but nay, would've been glad if I was noticed!!!
I have worked life's street as my companion are lonely tears on paper

This poem speaks about an individual who gave all to those around him/her and expected some sympathy or love in return. However, none was returned and sometimes, harm was done to him/her. This relates much to life's experiences, we show love but in return, we get hurt. Nonetheless, we must show love even if we'll tear out secretly.

Thank you for reading through, would love your comments and contributions 🤗

It feels bad to love and not be shown love in return, regardless of how many times we've been hurt, love is the only thing that truly keeps our soul alive. Yours will find you soon.

The verses describe well the dramatic situation of a person who feels lonely in the midst of a social and personal disenchantment. I am one of those who think that the poet should not explain his verses, he should let them say what they have to say under the free interpretation of the reader.

A sobering poem of unrequited love and friendship, of loneliness amongst the crowd... of the illusion of true connection.

I think we have all experienced this sense of loss in the minefield that is friendship. But when we do find those kindred spirits, those soulmates in our lives who share similar values and value us as we them, we appreciate how beautiful friendship can truly be.

If the inspiration for your poem was born out of recent experience then I send my love - everyone deserves to be noticed; everyone deserves to find love amongst friends !LUV

Each verse goes deeper and I can feel the perspective of the author when one is left unrewarded with love so to say especially when such person has given out and helped but none was returned.
